The end result is the biggest computer-related recall ever, as Dell replaces the batteries in more than 4 million laptops. In short order, Apple (1.8 million), Lenovo/IBM (500,000), and others do the same.Mon, 29 Jan 2007 13:54:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/US/12/16/time.you.tm/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/US/12/16/time.you.tm/index.htmlThe "Great Man" theory of history is usually attributed to the Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle, who wrote that "the history of the world is but the biography of great men." He believed that it is the few, the powerful and the famous who shape our collective destiny as a species. That theory took a serious beating this year.Sun, 17 Dec 2006 02:36:00 ESThttp://money.cnn.com/popups/2006/biz2/hot_copters/index.htmlhttp://money.cnn.com/popups/2006/biz2/hot_copters/index.htmlHere's how to turn your customers into your best marketers.Tue, 05 Dec 2006 00:02:00 ESThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/11/28/technology/you_tube_verizon/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/11/28/technology/you_tube_verizon/index.htmOnline video sharing site YouTube said Tuesday selected clips from its site would be available on Verizon Wireless phones starting early next month.Tue, 28 Nov 2006 13:37:00 ESThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/11/13/technology/onlinevideo/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/11/13/technology/onlinevideo/index.htmIt's only been a little more than a month since Google shook up the online video world by announcing that it was buying YouTube for $1.65 billion.Mon, 13 Nov 2006 15:55:00 ESThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/11/06/technology/youtube_award/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/11/06/technology/youtube_award/index.htmYouTube, the video-sharing Web site, can now add "Invention of the Year" to its growing list of honors this year, Time magazine announced Monday.Mon, 06 Nov 2006 22:33:00 ESThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/11/02/magazines/business2/moblogging.biz2/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/11/02/magazines/business2/moblogging.biz2/index.htmThe mobile phone industry got some leftover Halloween treats this week.

And in important ways it is. But the voluminous coverage missed something central. Google's interest in the video-sharing site, ironically, also has a lot to do with its belief in the staying power of conventional broadcast television and cable.Wed, 18 Oct 2006 20:48:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/10/30/8391683/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/10/30/8391683/index.htmWhen Fortune caught up with YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen a few days after Google purchased their company for $1.65 billion, they had very few insights to share - even about what it f...

When their $1.65-billion deal to sell YouTube to Google is completed sometime before the end of the year, the dynamic duo will be transformed from belles of the media ball to the guys who got stinking rich for a year's-plus worth of work but now answer to Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Rather than leading a revolution, they'll be conducting an experiment into whether a company formed on community principles can survive within a bigger company that has a distinct culture all its own.Fri, 13 Oct 2006 13:40:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/12/news/companies/utube/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/12/news/companies/utube/index.htmOne place where YouTube's success isn't being celebrated is in the offices of Universal Tube and Rollerform Equipment Corp. near Toledo, Ohio.Thu, 12 Oct 2006 15:18:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/10/technology/googleyoutube_reaction/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/10/technology/googleyoutube_reaction/index.htmHas the online video shakeout only begun or is the bubble about to burst?Tue, 10 Oct 2006 16:11:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/09/markets/markets_0530/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/09/markets/markets_0530/index.htmStocks rebounded Monday, led by technology shares, after news that Google plans to buy YouTube overshadowed higher oil prices and reports of North Korean nuclear tests.Mon, 09 Oct 2006 20:51:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/09/technology/googleyoutube_deal/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/09/technology/googleyoutube_deal/index.htmGoogle, the Internet's leading search engine, announced Monday that it is buying popular online video site YouTube for $1.65 billion in stock.Mon, 09 Oct 2006 19:29:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/09/markets/markets_0405/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/09/markets/markets_0405/index.htmStocks rebounded Monday despite higher oil prices and news that North Korea defied the West and tested a nuclear weapon, on speculation that Google might buy YouTube.Mon, 09 Oct 2006 19:06:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/09/markets/markets_0300/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/09/markets/markets_0300/index.htmStocks broke into the black Monday afternoon, despite higher oil prices and reports of a North Korea nuclear test, on speculation that Google might buy YouTube.Mon, 09 Oct 2006 17:44:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/09/technology/google_youtube/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/09/technology/google_youtube/index.htmSpending $1.65 billion to buy a Web site that specializes in wacky user-generated videos may seem like a steep price.Mon, 09 Oct 2006 15:43:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/06/news/companies/google_youtube/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/10/06/news/companies/google_youtube/index.htmThe online search giant Google Inc. is in talks to purchase the closely held Web sharing sensation YouTube for around $1.6 billion, according to a report published Friday.Fri, 06 Oct 2006 15:43:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/10/02/8387416/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/10/02/8387416/index.htmOne of the big hits to emerge on YouTube this summer was Lonelygirl15, a pouting teenager webcasting from her bedroom who turned out to be an actress hired by three ambitious wannabe producers with...

The online video-sharing site is facing a rebellion among the formerly faithful. Yesterday, blogger and longtime YouTuber Miel Vanopstal lost his cool in a post titled "Screw YouTube." Vanopstal complains that YouTube's recent upgrades have made the site significantly slower, and that new efforts to enforce copyright and delete otherwise questionable material strike him as arbitrary. He is particularly galled that a single alert notice from a "puritanically minded" fellow user can result in a video being deleted. "I've had it with these random rejections," he writes.Wed, 03 May 2006 19:03:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/04/18/commentary/mediabiz/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/04/18/commentary/mediabiz/index.htmMeet the next big television star: You.Tue, 18 Apr 2006 14:54:00 EDT
